Relative Efficiency of Health Provision: a DEA Approach with Non-discretionary Inputs
We estimate a semi-parametric model of health production process using a two-stage approach for OECD countries. By regressing data envelopment analysis output efficiency scores on non-discretionary variables, both using Tobit analysis and a single and double bootstrap procedure, we show that inefficiency is strongly related to GDP per head, the education level, and health behaviour such as obes...
متن کاملFuzzy Efficiency Measures in DEA: A New Approach based on Fuzzy DEA Approach with Double Frontiers
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method to measure relative efficiency of a set of decision-making units (DMUs) which uses multiple inputs and produces multiple outputs. In the conventional DEA, crisp inputs and outputs are fundamentally necessary. But the observed values of inputs and outputs in real-world problems are sometimes imprecise. Thus, performance measurement often needs to be do...
متن کاملNon-discretionary imprecise data in efficiency Measurement
This paper introduces discretionary imprecise data in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and discusses the efficiency evaluation of Decision Making Units (DMUs) with non-discretionary imprecise data. Then, suggests a method for evaluation the efficiency of DMUs with non-discretionary imprecise data. When some inputs and outputs are imprecise and non-discretionary, the DEA model becomes non-linear ...
متن کاملEvaluating the Relative Efficiency of Iran's Tourism Industry: A Non-Parametric Approach
T ourism is one of the most invaluable industries in the world, attracting millions of foreign tourists every year. In terms of historical and cultural attractions, Iran is among top 10 countries, however, it has a small share of foreign tourist's arrival. Iran's tourism boom depends on providing the suitable conditions for the arrival of tourists, included service elements (i.e. hot...
متن کاملNon-Discretionary Factors and Imprecise Data in DEA
Discretionary models of data envelopment analysis (DEA) assume that all inputs and outputs can be varied at the discretion of management or other users. In any realistic situation, however, there may exist ”exogenously fixed” or non-discretionary factors that are beyond the control of a DMU’s management, which also need to be considered. Also DEA requires that the data for all discretionary inp...
